HSV-2 increases TLR4-dependent phosphorylated IRFs and IFN-β induction in cervical epithelial cells.
Our previous studies demonstrated that HSV-2 infection up-regulates TLR4 expression and induces NF-kB activity, thereby facilitating innate immune response in human cervical epithelial cells. This process requires involvement of TLR4 adaptors, Mal and MyD88. In the current study, we found that HSV-2...
